My Stihl 028 Wood Boss is giving me my first major problem in over 20 years.
(It has been a GREAT saw and starts fast every time...love my saw).
The chain tension started changing while sawing.
It started fine but then it got so tight, the chain would barely turn.
I took it apart, cleaned everything, changed to a new chain and made sure everything was tight. After cutting some white oak firewood, it got so tight again, the chain would barely turn.
I will probably take it in to have it looked at(I have a great local shop).
But, does anyone have any advice for something I could look at to fix it before I take it in?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
